The time has come. This Sunday, the red carpet will be rolled out, and the winners will be announced. I have quite a few qualms with the nominees, let alone who will probably win, but, opinions aside, here're my predictions for some of the major awards on Oscar night:
Best Documentary Feature: Capturing the Friedmans (Andrew Jarecki and Marc Smerling)
Best Animated Feature: Finding Nemo (Andrew Stanton)
Best Foreign Film: The Barbarian Invasions (Canada; Denys Arcand)
Best Original Screenplay: Lost in Translation (Sofia Coppola)
Best Adapted Screenplay: The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (Screenplay by Fran Walsh, Philippa Boyens & Peter Jackson)
Best Supporting Actor: Tim Robbins (Mystic River)
Best Supporting Actress: Renée Zellweger (Cold Mountain)
Best Actor: Sean Penn (Mystic River)
Best Actress: Charlize Theron (Monster)
Best Director: Peter Jackson (The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King)
Best Picture: The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (Barrie M. Osborne, Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh)
Of course, the Academy always likes to pull a few surprises. Some of the possible wildcards may be Patricia Clarkson for her supporting role in Pieces of April, Alec Baldwin for his turn in The Cooler, and/or an award for City of God.
This year the only surprise was that I was still watching at the end.

Majority of the nominees I like and the rest I don't know or I haven't seen the movie they are in.

Whenever I watch the Oscar awards I always feel like I am part of the judges that are voting for the winner for each category.
